These Beef and Bleu Cheese Biscuits are a spectacular variation on our beloved house bread of the South. The flavor paring makes these beefy biscuits ideal for serving as the complimentary bread for any meal.
Beef and Bleu Cheese Biscuits
This savory variation on a classic buttermilk biscuit that was the result of an "aha" kitchen moment. I love baking savory and sweet alike and am known for making all sorts of biscuits. Some biscuits are more tailored for breakfast meals and some sweet versions such as cinnamon swirl raisin biscuits or cranberry orange scones can be served for brunch or tea. This beef and bleu cheese biscuit is a terrific appetizer or dinner bread.
Blue Cheese and Beef are a Heavenly Match
I personally love the robust flavor of bleu cheese, and I tend to gravitate to those that are heavily blue veined. However, I recognize that this is an acquired taste so, for these biscuits, I chose to use a milder Gorgonzola cheese which often appeals to a wider audience.
- These biscuits can be served with a side of sweet chive butter to accompany any meal.
- I highly recommend using White Lily flour if it's available in your area to make the best biscuits.
- My favorite way to serve these for a high tea or brunch is a to add a couple of slices of juicy tomato, a light sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of horseradish sauce. The trio of beef, bleu cheese and horseradish turns these into the fillet mignon of biscuits.
